Guest Kimburly

Hello to everyone! My name is Kimburly, and I'm a middle aged(!) person living in a small city in the Pacific Northwest.

I've had the 'wrong body' feelings since I was a pup, and have been crossdressing and dreaming for a very long time. Recently single and strangely thinking more clearly, I've come to realize that perhaps something can be done about this gut-ache.

Striving to live with humor and compassion, and hoping to contribute in a meaningful way.

Hi, Kimburly,

I'd like to add my welcome to the others here.

Let's see, cross-dressing and dreaming, with a gut-ache. I can definitely relate.

I hope you'll enjoy it here, sharing our stories, finding new things about ourselves. It's a really great place.

Welcome to Lauras. I'm finding it to be a wonderful place of healing, and I have NO doubt that you will as well.

Always be good to yourself

Kimburly, welcome to Laura's!

Yes something can be done about your gut-ache, and you are doing it right now, by coming here

and learning about TG and TS, asking questions, and getting good information. So you are on the

right path.

The next best thing to do is to find a gender-trained therapist to talk over your feelings with.

Please check out the various forums and familiarize yourself with the site. It's a great place with

great people. You will find friends here.

HUGS

Kimburly,

You sound like me if I was still middle aged, well I am if I am going to live to be 116!

That would just about be long enough to pay off my credit cards! :D

I like to use humor to get me through tough times also.

So no one has offered you and cocoa and cookies?

I left them here in the member's lounge before I went to work, ah here they are.

I'll just heat up some fresh cocoa and we can sit and talk.

There is no need to rush, there is always time to transition at your own pace - it isn't a race so slow down and enjoy every step of the journey.

Welcome to the family.

Love ya,

Sally

      I attend a medical day-centre in Texas for needed medical services. It's religious oriented, so not gender fluid friendly. I of course dress 100% in female attire yet androgynous to keep both "them happy", and I really don't mind.    I of course am imposed rules that no other participant is bound by. The examples are the allowed size of my backpack, or how many visits per day I can see my Representative payee.  The gender neutral restroom use was a compromise that all off us have agreed to.  Not being able to wear tanks tops or shorts that aren't "Bermuda length" are other examples of where I am restricted more than any other participant. "Bra talk" is strictly forbidden, even though their doctor and occupational therapist were the ones that told me I needed support due to neck pain.    I found myself being reprimanded by staff three times yesterday for very petty details, and they have constantly pushed for me to remove myself from the program voluntarily. I am of course someone not welcomed in the program, but federal discrimination laws prevent them from removing me. They instead are just making life miserable with the hopes that I will leave on my own.

      Nope.  I live in a rural area.  Pride events are for city folks.  The normally quiet LGBTQ+ club kind of changes atmosphere during that time, and things get a bit political.  As a non-Democrat, I avoid it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      For me, definitely the size thing.  I'm 5'4" on a good day, and 100lbs.  I can pass as a teenage boy, but never for my real mid-30s age.  And since my husband looks older than his age, I'm often assumed to be his kid.  Or folks think there's something illegal going on.      Also, my lack of the typical aggressive "masculine" demeanor.  I don't really desire the typical masculine social role, nor could I do it even if I tried really hard.  I'm usually quiet and kind of timid.

      I am sorry for your struggles. I cannot empathize, but I can surely sympathize. I wish only the best for you!

      No, they are the only provider of services I need an my area. 😑
    • RaineOnYourParade
      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way. 
    • violet r
      I been play texas chainsaw massacre game most recently. It free on game pass right now. Just need a good team
    • violet r
      Anyone play war and order on their phones?  
    • violet r
      I can relate.  I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.
